Members D.A. Kabatoff Posted October 22, 2009 Members Report Posted October 22, 2009 looks like four of the five bag punches I wanted were previously sold but the loops irons are still a good deal and some of them are available in different thicknesses. Darcy Quote

Moderator bruce johnson Posted October 22, 2009 Author Moderator Report Posted October 22, 2009 Another way that metal loop irons are used is for fixed loops. One way to put them in is to sew down one side of the strap with the loop open. The other end of the loop is then sandwiched between the lining and top of the bridle parts. The loop iron is put into the loop and can be like an anvil. You can staple or clinch against it.
